Got the 89 MJ in red 2.5 2wd. Lady was asking $3000 it was broke down in an apple orchard w/ 4 flat tires and wouldn’t start. I said not interested at that price and left. She called me up 2weeks later and asked how much I’d give her for it, I said $500 she reluctantly agreed. I went over there with some tools and 4 bf Goodrich Ko’s on rims, switched out the tires got it running and took it home. Sitting next to my xj in the driveway:)
Great story! I’m working on repainting my 87 Long bed pioneer, paid 1,300 running and driving 4.0. These little trucks are awesome! Much better than the Ranger or S10
That's what I have with the Metric Ton Option with Dana 44 trakLok axle etc. I paid $650 for mine delivered 356 miles up into the waaay off grid mountains free.
Great looking truck. I have my 1988 Comanche sport,4.O liter, red. Bought it new in February of 1988 it had 13 miles on it. She still runs great and I had her repainted about 4 years ago. Love my little red Jeep.
That’s a great buying story dude, very cool guy you bought it from, it’s super clean!! Comanches are pretty rare near me only see about 3 or 4 in my area and all aren’t in the greatest condition
I grew up around tj's my brother had 2 of them growing up well as a kid didn't think much about it till my first jeep was a 94 cherokee country that was loaded that what got me into jeeps 14 years in owning a Jeeps this past year I went and bought a 98 cherokee classic kinda high miles but the mileage didnt account how good it looked didnt really drive it much 2200 miles is what I put on it in a year just happen the day I looked on marketplace the same time guy post a 2000 tj sahara up for trade I contacted him and a day later after he test drove my cherokee he wanted it so we traded I got a green sahara manual trans it got half door and soft top always wanted a sahara wrangler but really just out of my price range cause around here they go anywhere from 8500 up typically.You.got a good looking Comanche around here you can't find em only in a pile of parts cause of the body rusting out so bad
Man you got hosed. My Comanche Pioneer Metric Ton Option is OEM perfect n I paid $650 for the mechanics lein a dmshop had against it and one of his employees delivered it from Belview ( Seattle area)!to my house up in the mountains 356 Mile's no charge. It's great. It's a rare optioned modle. Dandahermit
That's a nice Comanche. Mine I got for $350 but it was a real Pile, still doesn't look good but it just looks like a beater now, and the heater works. It's stuck on defrost and the body is clean, motor and tranny are good no 4x4 but it's my little jeep.
Cool story man! Glad it worked out for you! I'm thinking about buying a red 88 Comanche this weekend. I had a ZJ, now an LJ, but I need a truck for my new property. Figured what better truck than a Jeep truck!
I snagged a decent '90 a few years ago. 4.0, 5 speed, 2wd, long bed with metric ton package. Previous owner installed Dana 30, bench seats, and spray painted matte black. Got it for $3k with a 4wd ax15 and a np231. I also picked up a rough rusty '87 for $450 that I mainly just bought for the trailer hitch.
I just picked mine up a week ago. A little 86 unfortunately it has a 2-5 which does not run was the 4 speed manual. No rust bed damage a little bit driver side but otherwise clean little truck I traded a big block 454 Chevy that was given to me. That is a total good score on your part. They're getting harder to get. And harder to get parts for. I am doing the same thing you're doing 4.0 conversion ax15 behind that was a 4 inch lift. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the little pickup
I'm sort of impressed. saw the one TFL truck did and the tires were way too big and the lift was way too high. I owned a 1987 Commanche XL with a turbo diesel. Was awesome and slow at the same time. Had all the options for the time.
That’s a really cool story a lil how I got mine but I only paid 600 for mine had to do a full rebuild as body work goes finders bed doors the MJ was beat to crap and a wheeler
this is an awesome truck, just saw it on the ComancheClub forum. Cool thing about these is if you ever want to do a 4.0 or 4x4 swap they are relatively easy, could snag a rusty but good running xj and swap the drive train.
Cool story and nice MJ man! I just stumbled across your channel because of this video as I just bought a Comanche myself and have been looking them up to find nice builds. Subscribed and look forward to seeing more content of your Jeep! Feel free to check out my 1988 if you have the time!
Congrats Kyle it looks very nice and clean, I’m excited for the build. I’ve seen people put the newer XJ front ended and the newer XJ dash in their MJs that would look nice.

Thank you!
Nice man, I’m doing the same but hopefully for my 17th birthday
Love it man! People that own Jeeps sometime are more happy that it goes to a home that people appreciate it at!
Thanks Jeshua!
Good story. It’s so much better when people consider you and what will happen to the truck and value you liked it
Thanks man
I just subscribe cause he has Comanche love from Mexico 🇲🇽
Thanks Christian!

Nice and fun story Kyle. Thanks for sharing as usual.
Thanks Nacho!
Great story man. I hope to find one soon as well and share my story. Beautiful Jeep
Thanks man!
Good for you ... enjoy !
Thank you!
Fun story awesome man keep on keeping on. Maby one day I'll share my jeep with you through pictures
Thank you!
Nice score. The fact that’s it’s a 2WD probably helped preserve it this long. Now I’ve heard guys swapping the engine🤔or converting these to 4WD🤔

Great story! You definitely buy vehicles better than me. I'm not very patient when I want something lol
Thanks!
Sweet! I picked up an 89 Comanche very cheap. It's pretty rough but I'm getting there on bringing it back to life
Very cool!
I had a 86 commanche and love it

Good guy to sell it to you for that price. Not an easy vehicle to find.
That's because his wife got hold of him and knew it wasnt gonna sell for 4k at an auction.
best quality jeep videos by far
Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing the story. The car looks mean as from the rear.
Thanks!
It was really awesome of the previous owner to sell it to you for cheap since you've been eyeballing it for so long. Great story!
Thanks Jason!
What about a Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ with a 318 / 5.2L Magnum v8 & a 5-speed?
I had a 318 in my dakota and loved it
Keep up the videos on the Comanche
Thanks Robert! Will do
I got a 4.0l Comanche recently with no rust. A dent on the hood and driver fender, but I payed 2800 dollars!
Very cool!
Cool story and nice MJ man! I just stumbled across your channel because of this video as I just bought a Comanche myself and have been looking them up to find nice builds. Subscribed and look forward to seeing more content of your Jeep! Feel free to check out my 1988 if you have the time!
Thanks brother! Very cool ill check it out!
I've heard the older ones have electrical demons. Is that true?
Hey, enjoyed the video but I was wondering how you fight rust. Buying my comache next week and im just wondering how you fought the rust.
Will be doing a video shortly on getting rid of rust on my TJ and sealing the frame
@@KyleSVT Just for that ill sub, gj keep up the work my guy
Thank you sir!
I would drop a Hemi int it since its a 2WD and have a blast around town with it.
yea a v8 would be awesome or a turbo 4.0L
i saw one a while back when i was looking for a truck. but it was a long bed and beat to hell.
Donde consigo el braket maunton del aire codicionado
How are these for daily driving? Would you say they’re just as good as the tj?
For me its great! All depends what you need a DD to do
@@KyleSVT probably a legit daily driver.
Congrats Kyle it looks very nice and clean, I’m excited for the build. I’ve seen people put the newer XJ front ended and the newer XJ dash in their MJs that would look nice.
Thanks Lethal! I prefer the more classic older interior and front end but thanks for the advise!
Beautiful Comanche !! What size are your tires ??
Thank you!. Fronts are 235/70/15 and rears are 275/60/15
buddy great work
Thanks 👍
Wow, nice deal!!
Thank you!
Now you need a j10
Nice!
Thanks!
i bought a 88 4.0 2 wheel drive 5 speed manual with no rust on it for 3800
Very cool!
awe man sucks it rear wheel drive are you going to add a transfer case
Probably not. Kinda want to make it a sport truck. Got the TJ for 4x4
thats a goood story! haha
Thanks Sean!
wondering, how many miles is on that thing ?
123k
First view first comment
Basically an XJ with a bed
Yes sir
Naisse
Should have waited and picked it up at the auction. Could have got it cheaper and yall both would have a tax write off 😂
Doesn't make sense. You offer $3k... But he really wants to sell to you for $2600?
Was he drugged up?
Xj or mj i sub.
Thank you sir
You offered him 3k before he put a bunch of work into it. and then he sold it to you for 2500 after he did all the work????
This guy so poor doesn't have a pair of sandles SMH
